He gave the fourth-year coach an earful when he reached the sidelines. After the game, Rodgers admitted his strong words stemmed from frustration with LaFleur's play calling.
"Just every single play call, probably," Rodgers said via a postgame transcript from the team. "I felt like we were like 30 yards from ending the game in regulation and also felt like it was two minutes, so I was going to be calling those, and I was in a pretty good rhythm. Obviously, I didn’t have a ton of attempts but felt like I was in a pretty good rhythm. I felt like I threw the ball just about exactly where I wanted to, so I wanted a chance to go win the game."

After the Packers lost the overtime coin toss, the defense was able to stop the Cowboys from converting on a fourth down.
Rodgers and the Packers offense got the ball and moved into field goal range. Kicker Mason Crosby won the game with a 28-yard field goal.

For his part, LaFleur pointed the finger at himself but noted that it was more important that the team won the game.
"It didn’t work out, at least in that moment, but it did work out obviously for us to be able to come out on top," LaFleur said. "A lot of times when we get in those situations, we give Aaron a ton of freedom to kind of run the show. I’d say, typically, he does such a great job with it. So, hindsight is 20/20, but that was on me, totally."
